I can't say where I'm going no where
This feeling goes on and on
I can't say that I'm going somewhere
When I've been failing to reach you for so long

For so long, I've tried
To reach you baby, don't you know that

I've been treading water for your love
Whether I sink or swim, it's you I'm thinking of
I've been treading water for your love
As my light grows dim maybe you're not strong enough boy

Maybe all along (all along)
I've been holding on (holding on)
To the promise that you need some time
Making everything into a story
Making sure I never get to feel happy
Taking everything you do my own way
Thinking that you're begging me please

I've been treading water for your love
Whether I sink or swim, it's you I'm thinking of
I've been treading water for your love
As my light goes dim maybe you're not strong enough boy
